Figure D-3 Recurring Schedule
When a Device Is Refreshed: This schedule causes the event to occur each time the ZENworks Adaptive Agent performs a refresh on the device. If you want to delay the event so that it does not happen immediately upon refresh, select the
option and specify the number of days, hours, or minutes you want to delay the event.Days of the Week: This schedule lets you specify the days during the week that you want the event to run. The event is run on these same days each week.

Start Time: Specifies the time you want to run the event.
Process Immediately if Device Unable to Execute on Schedule: The event is run immediately if, for some reason, the schedule you configured results in the event not being able to run.
Use Coordinated Universal Time: The Start Time is converted to Universal Coordinated Time (UTC). Select this option to indicate that the Start Time you entered is already in Coordinated Universal Time and should not be converted. For example, suppose you are in the Eastern time zone. If you enter 10:00 a.m. and select this option, the Start Time is scheduled for 10:00 UTC. If you don’t select this option, the Start Time is scheduled for 14:00 UTC because Eastern time is UTC - 4 hours.
